<![CDATA[We have a QB (BQ)]]>BQ is clearly outplaying DA tonight. DA played decent with only one dropped pick. But the TD to BE and his 9/11 for 108 yd performance nailed it.

I was watching sports center this morning and they had Trent Dilfer on. Maybe this was an old commentary by him, I don't know for sure. He said Anderson give the Browns the best chance to win right now and don't be surprised if DA is named the starter. I know Dilfer has a lot of hatred towards to Browns, but come on.

Dilfer hates Quinn, though I am not sure why.

It's a short week before a scrub game. There's no reason to NOT name Quinn the starter tomorrow.

I agree, unless of course he plans on naming Quinn the starter tonight.

I hope you guys are right.

Right now, my guess is Dawson is going to be a top fantasy kicker.

Your right.

All those PAT's were going to get from all the touchdowns will be great this year.

Go Browns!!!!

have we heard anything today, e.g., is he going to tell the QB's today and the press tomorrow?

It was a pretty good pass, and just looked like DA zigged when Edwards zagged on that ball. BE said as much in his post game comments.

DA's forte is throwing intermediate/long passes in rhythm. In that environment he's world class. Of that, there's never been a doubt.

Yeah I've noticed is passes are tight and accurate rather than just getting there. He is in no way throws as well as DA, but he is more consistent and definitely spreads the ball around to all his receivers. Everyone gets involved.

But yeah he is throwing a much better ball. Could be he is reacting more than thinking?

I thought Quinn showed more Zip than DA last night. The long ball to Edwards was a floater.

I hope this makes you feel better about it Ballpeen - here's 4 of the 9 starts from DA in 2008:

28-10 loss to Dallas

10-6 loss to Pitt

28-10 loss to Baltimore

10-6 loss to Indy (the Indy TD was their return of DA's fumble)

That's a sum of 2 TDs in 4 weeks so what do we stand to lose? Just think if we got the FG vrs Indy instead of a careless QB handing Indy 7 points.

- Tom F.

The pieces of a complete quarterback are coming together in Quinn. He's shown he can go over the top, and he seems to have more RPMs this year, especially over the past two weeks. I don't know if he changed his grip

Grossi said Quinn's passes were loose for a lot of camp, then got prettier in the past 2-3 weeks. Weird... but good.

It was also great to see some points put up on the board as well.

Go BQ!!!!

I agree!

A lot of you might want to place Dawson at the top of your list, maybe even as a first rounder on your fantasy team.

It would be a shame to miss out on a good kicker.

So far he has not shown that ability to me. Of course he really hasn't had the chance come to think of it! I think he will be named the starter, and should be, just to give him a chance. Well see when the games count. Hope he knocks me out with his performance and is the next Elway. I think that Anderson, while he did throw some good passes, always does seem to flip-flop. Go BQ, go Browns!]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/99913https://brownsboard.com/post/99913Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:25:16 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to We have a QB (BQ) on Sun, 30 Aug 2009 19:34:06 GMT]]>I hope you guys are right.

I mean BAD. Everybody talks about the telegraphed "int" that was dropped and turned into a completion. But don't forgot his little comebacker when he almost tattoo'd Royal.

Quinn didn't have anything like that during the game.

Quinn is the starting quarterback of the Browns and will remain so at least until the bye, after week 8. I think it's more likely he'll get the full season.

By the looks of last night, it's going to go a lot longer than just this full season. I know you are just talking about his grace period, but he looked like a true franchise QB to me last night.

Nice contribution.

Quinn went 7 for his next 8 after that throw with the lone incompletion being a throw away out of the back of the endzone.

I did...and took it with a grain of salt.

I don't think the plan is to yo-yo, or be quick about it...but points is the key for i assume Quinn.

Just my take on Quinn ...BQ is going to live and die with his 3rd down passing as we are going to be in 3rd and 4 after 3rd and 4 as he comes from the Tim Couch school of qbing..play it safe and short...and I am not saying that as a jab...it is just the way it is and it can work.

I expect to see Dawson kicking lot's of fieldgoals with BQ at the helm.

JMO

I'm with Vegas on this one. 'peen for someone pining for balance on the debate you sure seem to have some type of axe to grind here.

We were in 3rd and 4 all night because we can't run the football. Quinn generally picked up the first down. That's a problem?

I love the "I expect to see Dawson..." comment too. Especially after saying you weren't taking a jab and jab-you-do in the very next sentence.

One place DA will not be going as a starter is Washington. Jason Campbell had a good game. having said that, what is wrong with having DA as the backup ? I would rather have DA lead the team if Quinn goes down that Brett Ratliff, he still has miles to go.

It's proven...you need two Qb's in this league...we are in good shape. They were given a fair shot at it...it's time for BQ to step up and lead. If we suck....we should start the process over again and get a stafford, McCoy or sneed....

@timugen said:

It was only "almost" a pick because he throws a 5yd pass like it's a 30yd pass. His own incompetence saved him from that pick.

You keep telling yourself that. It was a catchable pass that caught the defender off guard. Nobody is saying that wasn't a bad pass by DA, but this is the NFL, and everybody makes passes sometimes that they wish they could have back.

@timugen said:

He didn't "trip a ref on accident." He was standing somewhere were HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. But I guess it's the ref's fault for not looking out for DA. Funny that I've never seen a QB get a penalty while riding pine, yet DA managed to pull it off.

This was weird, but not a big deal, and it won't happen again. If that was Quinn, all you Quinn beaters would be rubbing your balls all over this thread saying how Quinn was being a great leader by taking interest in the game, or some ridiculous BS like that.

@timugen said:

2 years ago against one of the weakest schedules in NFL history. Take out the first Cincy game, Miami, and St. Louis (3 of the worst teams in recent memory) and take another look at DA's stats and think about how many wins he "led" us to.

Well gee, even if you want to discount games that good teams prove their worth by winning consistently, then that would mean he led us to 7 wins. Isn't math great?

You don't see people subtracting easy wins off Tom Brady's resume, do you?

@timugen said:

about the only thing you said that makes sense.

Your post reeks of ignorance and is one of the reasons why I rarely visit this board anymore. I personally am VERY happy to have a 1st round pick out of Notre Dame AND a Pro Bowl alternate QB on our roster.

Do us all a favor and don't return to posting until you finish humping Quinn's leg and formulate a realistic view of our quarterback situation.
